 |
|
Coming soon to a town near us?
| Quote: | “The sell-out of Jupiter, Florida,” by D.A. King, MichNews – 4/14/05
Dear Reader, please remember this: while you read this rant, brave Border Patrol Agents are in the Sonoran desert chasing thousands of illegal aliens who are crawling through our barbwire borders. They are catching far fewer than they miss.
Here is how the editorial board at the Sun Sentinel newspaper in south Florida explains why it was “the right thing to do” for the Jupiter, Florida city council to take taxpayer dollars to fund the building of a day labor center there… for illegal aliens.
"…In order to get work, the laborers will have to prove they live in town, a reasonable solution for keeping immigrants from surrounding areas from flooding the center and abusing Jupiter's goodwill. That also means the workers will have to provide an address, allowing the town to track who lives where and prevent house crowding, a common complaint."
This is what passes for “a courageous, progressive step” in Jupiter Florida. This is a “reasonable solution”? In Arizona, they are apprehended and deported, here, they are given taxpayer dollars? Let’s see if I have this straight. The illegals, who are either working for un-reported cash - or using someone else’s social security number (yours, maybe?) – must prove that they are illegal aliens who live in Jupiter, so as not to allow the illegal aliens who live in the “surrounding areas” to take the jobs of the Jupiter illegals? What?
**CONTINUED** |
Guess he’s not exaggerating – here are excerpts from the article he refers to above – I read it, but still can’t believe it – sounds like Jupiter would like to start a trend:
| Quote: | “Jupiter Does What's Right,” Sun-Sentinel Editorial – 4/13/05
Every once in a while, politicians do what's right, even though it's not popular. For Jupiter Town Council members, it meant rebuffing U.S. Rep. Mark Foley's warnings that they were condoning illegal activity. It meant standing up to homeowners who fear their city is becoming a magnet for undocumented immigrants. It meant doing more than turning a blind eye on the day laborer problem that has plagued countless cities, crowding downtown streets with migrant workers looking for a day's pay and employers picking them up for work no one else will do. <….>
The town is setting up a full-service resource center staffed by a Hispanic advocacy group and dispensing such wide-ranging services as job networking, prenatal counseling and English classes.
Those who say helping a largely illegal immigrant workforce disrespects the laws of the land fail to see the bigger picture. It's the porous federal immigration policy that's failed America by not doing enough to stop or at least document those who cross the border every day. <….> It's a reasonable plan that Lake Worth, too, should consider in confronting its own day laborer dilemma. <...> |

To a liberal, all the above means "undocumented". Sounds nice and is glossed over well.

I live very close to Jupiter, FL, and persoanlly will never spend another dime there. I'm sure that alot of other people feel the same way. Liberalism is misplaced compassion that eventually comes back to bite you in the ass.
